To make the mystery even more confusing is the presence of the National
Guard and a mobile radar tracking station. |
And in case you are wondering why we single out the Chersmie farm near Tangipahoa as the center of UFO activity, that is the place where photographs of UFOs have been taken. Where strange bits of metal have been found in the pastures and where strange circles have been found in the grass which some people claim are spots where UFOs have landed.
In fact the area around Tangipahoa has been known as a UFO hot spot for nearly a hundred years. I have heard old-timers tell me how they used to see strange lights in the sky when they were driving their wagons back from Greenburg.
But several years ago Mrs. Robert Cheramie startled the area when she said that she found strange rings in her pasture where she thought UFOs might have landed. They had seen strange sights in the sky for sometime and the rings on the earth really startled them.
I personally went and examined them and I must admit they were curious. We found six of them. All six wereexactly 12’ 6” round and there was a section on part of them that looked like a bite had been taken out of one-like a bite taken out of a round cookie. The grass was mashed down in this area and Mrs. Cheramie said that she thought this was where some kind of a ladder swung down to the ground. In the center was a small mound of distrubed earth and lines reached from the center to the outside rim
The outlines were traced out on the grass with a black powdery substance that stuck to the grass. it was as if the grass were coated with black flour that bad crusted to the stem and leaves of grass.
All six circles were identical. All six had a “bite"taken out ofthe outer rim and you could even see where two of them overlapped like the rings left by a wet glass on a dry counter
The black substance was identified by agricultural authorities as being a form of leaf mold and undoubtedly it was, but it was curious that it apperared in such exact shapes.
I mean you would think leaf mold would appear in irregular patches with some big and some little. What makes the appearance of the black substance peculiar is not the substance itself, but the fact that the shape is so regular–as if someone cut them out with a cookie cutter.
And then there is the photograph taken of an alleged Flying Saucer at the same farm. The picture was taken by a Kentwood business man who had been hunting in the fields at Cheramie's. He had killed a limit of doves and his little boy wanted to see where he had been hunting. He drove his son and wife out there and they saw a round flying object hovering in the air. He quickly grabbed a Polaroid camera that he had in the car and snapped a series of pictures, one of which is reproduced here.

And there is the mysterious metal which appeared all over the Cheramie fields–these are the same fields in which the circles appeared.
According to Mrs. Cheramie, the field was covered with a metal that looked like aluminum straw. She brought me a little bag of it and we have tried to take a picture of it. We tested it by seeing if it would fog a film and it does not appear to be radioactive. [We do things like that when people bring us debris they thing is from a Flying Saucer. Frankly, we don't know what the stuff is, but we don't want to take a chance on lighting up like a neon bulb.]
And so there you have it. A summary of the latest in local Flying Saucer activity.
